The traditional doming technique was used for brick domes, laying them in horizontal layers with a radial wire guide. The wire cut bricks used for construction provided an opportunity to expose the construction detail adding to the expression.

The largest dome covering the multipurpose hall is unique in its concept and design. The usual technique to construct large span domes, is to use a three dimensional geodesic support system. This, however requires precision engineering and skilled labor. The absence of both lead the firm to innovate an alternate approach: It is the first time a space frame was corbelled to shape up a skin in the form of a dome. The structural steel used are

The piped frames are visible underneath the dome revealing a playful sculptural pattern. giving a unique visual appeal with an interesting shadow pattern cast by lights on to the domed ceiling.

The design took symbolic cue from the golf ball. Hemispherical domes cap many public spaces interspersed with tiled walkways and lounges. This gives a combination of traditional forms suitably modified to the present and recombined playfully. The movement line meander though domed spa ces and tiled corridors with green courts.

On the whole, the building embedded low energy and made maximum use of the local climate and reduced consumption of operational energy. It used local materials and innovative recombination of traditional techniques.
